The Esquire Theatre
320 Ludlow Avenue
Cincinnati, OH
The Esquite Theatre opened in 1911, showing silent films and featuring live events on stage. The theatre closed in 1983 and in 1984 Wendy's proposed a fast-food restaurant for the location. The Clifton residents banded together to save the theatre and a court battle ensued. The residents won and in 1990 the building was remodeled and reopened with three screens.
The theatre now has six screens. It is a rare independent theatre that shows first-run feature films.
